Northwest Mathematics Interaction, an affiliate of Park City
Mathematics Institute, offers a special professional
development opportunity this summer at the University of
Washington in Seattle, July 28-30.

The program coincides this
year with a conference celebrating the geometry and other mathematics of Vic Klee
and Branko Grünbaum. Brian
Hopkins will facilitate a group of teachers who will attend
selected research talks, with preparation and reflection
sessions.

Register before June 15 to save $25.

There is also space in the Numerical Delights short course,
July 26-27. This course is intended for high school teachers or
anyone else interested in the historical development of number
theory, exploring topics relevant to the high school algebra
and precalculus classroom. The link above includes information
about both courses.

San Francisco's Exploratorium is opening its newest exhibit on
June 25: the Geometry Playground. People-sized exhibits let you
use your hands, brain, and body to play with physical
demonstrations of geometry concepts. Exhibits fall under the
categories of seeing, moving, and fitting things together, and
include interactive artwork by geometric artists-in-residence.

The Geometry Playground closes at the Exploratorium on September 6,
then travels to St. Paul, San Diego, and other science museums
in cities around the country.
